Animal Shelter to Host Animal House Adoption Party
July 16, 2009
On Friday, July 31, Multnomah County Animal Shelter will hold its biggest party of the year, with live music, togas! and a keg … of root beer to encourage pet adoptions. From 11 a.m. until midnight, the shelter will offer special low-cost cat and dog adoptions and fun for the whole family.At the annual Animal House Adoption Party, Multnomah County Animal Services will transform its dog adoption kennels to Delta Omega Gamma fraternity, and its cattery into the Kappa Alpha Tau sorority. There’s no double secret probation, just fun for the whole family with entertainment, drawings, prizes and refreshments.
Adoptable pets will be the stars of the show, with special one-day-only fees: cats and kittens can be adopted for $50 and all dogs can be adopted for $80. All adoptable dogs and cats have had the necessary shots, and have been spayed/neutered, micro chipped, licensed, and have received veterinary check-ups. The 13-hour event will also feature K103 radio personalities John Erickson and Dana Jeffries from 11 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Regular shelter hours are 11 a.m. until 6 p.m., Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and Wednesday from noon to 6:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 11:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Closed Mondays and holidays.
